Coach Talk

Cheapest Meat
Kudos to you, Cheapest Meat. Deploying a lineup that earned more than 247 points this past matchup... we'll tip our cap to the GM of Gimme Graveeeeey, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
Gimme Graveeeeey
Unless Gimme Graveeeeey wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 37 targets in Week 14. With just 21 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
